Early News Alert - we have elimination gasping, and well before that of yesterday!  Gene Tyler (we hear, it's a matter of evesdropping until the player list materialises around Level Three).  Matey with caught a nice flop:  , a nicer turn:  but the river was his cake-icing - the .  This is what persuaded the First Eliminated to push his whole stack, as he held and rivered that over-house.  I think he's in shock, judging by the erratic walk out the door...

[snoopy1239]

Not long after taking a pot off Daniel Negreanu, Praz Bansi doubled up to 115k with the following hand.

Pre-flop action, Praz with J-J, Mateyboy with Nines.

9-4-7 Flop

Jack on Turn

all the chips fly in

Mateyboy eliminated, Praz possible chip leader.

[Djinn]

Lucky Praz.  Just look at his seat draw - Erica Schoenberg as neighbour.  And this after qualifying in a satellite last night after flipping a coin (OK, just giving himself an excuse) to come straight from Manchester to Vegas...

Here's a hand:
Mateyboy raises preflop to 300, Praz calls, Daniel Negreanu raises to 1,500 getting 2x call
Flop:     Negreanu bet 5k, Praz called
Turn:   And Praz takes it here with a 10k bet.  He told Snoopy that he had Nines on that one...

The Devilfish has found an opponent who's ready to out-chat him in Vinni Vinh.  "You come to the table today, not Devilfish, littlefish."  They clash in one pot while I'm up on stage - Dave says, "Littlefish checks," on a flop.  "Little Vinni bet!" says Vinh, throwing in 1,500, which Dave raises by a further 2,100 with only brief hesitation.
He gets a call and they see the turn.  Devilfish checks, Vinni bets 5,500.  Call.
River:    And it looked like a lightning speed check-Vinnyallin-pass here, which Devilfish was clearly not happy about - to be honest he's usually the one in the inane but entertaining (if you don't have to sit there the whole time) chat driving seat.  "I put you on a big hand," adds Vinni, helpfully, before doing some kind of mini-shadowbox leading me to believe he might be a few crackers short of a barrel.

Thanks to my reliable source, Claus Nielsen of Martins Poker who, incidentally, finalled in this event last year, I have learned that Mark Teltscher is OUT at the hands of Gus Hansen.

Gus raised it up pre-flop under-the-gun and Mark flat called along with three others.

Flop =

Gus bet 2,700, Mark made it 7,500 and Gus moved all-in.

Mark called for his last 25k, but his T-9 was no match for Gus' which survived come the raggy Turn and River.

[snoopy1239]

Mack Lee is OUT.

Mark Newhouse made it 800 pre-flop, Mack Lee re-popped it to 3,200 and Mark called.

Raggy Flop, Mack bet 5k, Mark pushed for 25k and Mack called all-in.

Mack is dominating with Queens versus Jacks, but Mark rivers a third Knave.
